Lupron (the generic name is leuprolide) is a manufactured version of a hormone that the body produces — gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) — which is involved in sexual development and reproduction. The body’s natural GnRH acts on the pituitary gland to control how much gonadotropin to release, controlling the function of the testes and ovaries. The medication is used to treat a variety of disorders in men and women.

Some people have complained of very ill Lupron side effects. Reports include chronic and debilitating muscle weakness and pain, anxiety, memory loss, depression, lost bone density and thyroid issues. If you have taken Lupron and have experienced any type of health complication, you may be able to seek compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering.

Lupron Therapy

The synthetic hormone is given to treat:

• Endometriosis, a painful condition in women during which growths develop outside of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes
• Prostate cancer
• Infertility
• In combination with iron to treat uterine fibroids or tumors before surgery
• Precocious (premature) puberty

Lupron Injection

Lupron is injected under the skin. Five forms are prescribed for different medical problems. They are:

• Lupron Depot 3.75
• Lupron Depot 11.25
• Lupron Depot 7.5
• Lupron Depot 22.5
• Lupron Depot 30

The first two forms are given to ease the pain of endometriosis and decrease the size of the growths. The other three forms are used to treat the symptoms of advanced prostate cancer.

Depending upon the form of the medication prescribed, the doctor injects the patient either:

• Monthly
• Every three months
• Every four months

Lupron Victims

Lupron victims have formed Internet web site groups to share thoughts about their concerns and the complications they believe the medication has caused.

Among their comments:

• “I fully believe that Lupron is responsible for most of the symptoms I am feeling now, which include bone and muscle pain, chronic fatigue, memory loss, dizziness, headaches, etc. . .I have been out of work because of all this. I have been from doctor to doctor and no one seems to take me seriously. . . .”

• “I am having all these symptoms that have worsened in the past few months. . . . My life has changed too. I used to be full of energy, healthy and outgoing, now it is the opposite and I cannot stand it. . . .”

• “I have had several side effects: hot flashes, mood swings, depression, fatigue, easy bruising, migraines, numbness, muscle/joint pain, and SEVERE weight gain. I gained nearly 25 pounds in 2.5 months!. . . .”

• “I became severely depressed after the first shot, but I was told that I had to keep taking it and that the symptoms would get better. . .they didn’t. After each treatment, my depression worsened. I have been off Lupron for about 5 years now, but I have NEVER been the same. I was NOT depressed before I started taking this drug, but since taking it I have been fighting depression ever since.”
